Cursive writing is going the way of fountain pens and handwritten letters on personal stationery. Relics of a bygone era.
Probably not a bad thing.
I dunno. I kind of feel that an entire country of adults who can only print is rather sad. Writing is a symbol of leaving behind childhood and taking on adult challenges. Not that it matters, since we all communicate on our cell phones now and r using a sort of shorthand.
